Excerpt: I can’t find enough women to work with and that’s really frustrating. I’ve been trying to understand how to change that. Last week at Big Omaha, I had the awesome opportunity to listen to Cindy Gallop speak about women in the workplace, as well as have a great conversation with Sally Nellson Barrett from Malone & Company on the subject.

Her latest passion is the Raspberry Pi, a low-cost, credit-card-size computer developed to help teach programming. News from the technology industry, including start-ups, the Internet, enterprise and gadgets. On Twitter: @nytimesbits. But when she told her best friend — “he’s male, also into programming” — his response was not what she had expected. “He was like, ‘Wait, how do you know about them? You’re a girl and you shouldn’t be doing that,”’ Ms. Aleksander said incredulously.... read the full post.
